From Lately, 10:31 pm on 13 July 2020

Tonight we begin a weekly cross every Monday night to the BBC's Rich Preston in London to talk about news from around the world.

This evening Karyn and Rich will talk about the Arab world's first mission to Mars, Bastille Day and the impact of Covid-19 on celebrations, the continual easing of lock down restrictions in the UK, and the UN Security Council's meeting this week to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
